Chapter 36

The man grinned maliciously, and a large amount of powder immediately poured out of the medicine bottle. With a flip of his palm, a surging wave of primordial energy swept out, enveloping the white-robed woman. An intoxicating fragrance instantly filled the air, rushing into her nostrils.

"Bad!" The white-robed woman exclaimed in alarm, trying to hold her breath, but it was no use.

Under the onslaught of the primordial energy, her body trembled, and she flew backward like a broken kite, inhaling a large amount of poison.

"Ha ha, now that you've been poisoned by me, I'll see how you can remain so reserved." The man grinned and took a step forward, his eyes filled with a sinister smile, tightly locking onto the woman who was flying backward like a kite.

"What a perfect figure!" The man couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he gazed at the woman's perfect body.

"This woman is probably even more beautiful than the top courtesan at the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion."

"You must be joking. A beauty like her, who looks like a celestial being and doesn't indulge in the pleasures of the world, how can she be compared to those women at the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Some of the other adventurers couldn't help but be moved and began to discuss.

"Look at her figure, it's almost perfect."

"If I could kiss her, I'd die happy."

"I hope the boss will let us play with her later." These people didn't follow but whispered behind, fantasizing about being able to kiss the beauty. From their appearance, they seemed quite experienced, as if this wasn't the first time they had done such things.

Bang!

The white-robed woman fell to the ground with a thud. The voices of those people in the distance sounded like the wailing of devils, as if countless demonic claws were about to pounce on her. A sense of despair rose in her heart, and her entire being felt as if it had sunk to the bottom of a valley.

However, this despair soon began to dissipate, and her consciousness started to become hazy.

"It's the evil poison taking effect," the white-robed woman frowned, feeling her breathing rate change.

"This Aphrodisiac Powder is truly a poison that even gods and Buddhas find hard to resist." Seeing the woman's eyes become hazy, the leader of the adventurer group smirked and walked over, his eyes filled with amusement as he began to examine her.

"Don't, don't come closer." The white-robed woman moved her body, though her eyes were hazy, she still instinctively tried to avoid him.

"Ha ha, beauty, don't panic. Now that you've been poisoned by my Aphrodisiac Powder, if I don't help you, you'll burn to death. Let me help you, ha ha, I guarantee that afterward, you'll beg me to train you."

The white-robed woman's eyes were hazy, and the figure before her was blurred, moving constantly. She could vaguely see the ugly face of the man, like a devil, making her want to tear his face and cast him into hell.

But now, the white-robed woman was filled with fear.

"Get lost!" Suddenly, a cold voice thundered, echoing through the sky.

The sound wave was like a thunderclap, making the adventurers tremble.

"Who is it!" Everyone looked around in surprise and panic.

They saw a young man charging over like an enraged lion.

"Just a young man?" The adventurers breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's him!" Hearing the familiar voice, the white-robed woman felt a warmth in her heart, and the tension in her body eased. It seemed that as long as this young man was here, all the danger would be resolved. Her furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

The sound wave faded, and Xiao Yun instantly appeared near the white-robed woman.

"Who are you?" The leader of the adventurer group asked, his eyes narrowing.

"I'm the one who will take your life!" Xiao Yun's face was cold. Seeing the woman on the ground, his heart tightened, feeling an inexplicable pain, as if he had been stabbed. He had only been gone for half a day, and this woman was almost hurt.

A fierce killing intent spread from the young man, almost solidifying the atmosphere. The adventurers were all terrified, feeling their breaths catch.

The leader was also startled, sensing a dangerous aura.

Despite being just a young man, he was feared.

Only the white-robed woman felt a warmth in her heart.

Because this young man was going crazy for her.

Without further ado, Xiao Yun released his soul power, which condensed into a blade and invaded the leader's mind. The surging soul power was like a tidal wave, instantly shattering his consciousness.

The killing intent made his soul tremble.

Swish!

Xiao Yun drew his sword, and with a flash of the blade, the man was dead.

Xiao Yun barely glanced at the man, stepping forward with a cold gaze locked on the nearby adventurers. The killing intent was so intense that it made the heart race, and some of the Body Tempering Realm cultivators trembled in fear.

Kill!

Xiao Yun shouted, and a vast wave of soul power surged forward.

This time, he released his soul power completely, the overwhelming pressure was irresistible. The adventurers' souls shattered, and they fell one by one, barely even managing to scream. Xiao Yun wielded his sword, and with each flash of the blade, a life was taken.

The sunset was beautiful, but the young man was in a frenzy. With each thrust of his sword, a splash of blood flew out.

Just two days ago, this woman had been attacked and almost committed suicide. Now, it was happening again, driving Xiao Yun to madness.

Such a peerless beauty should be revered like a goddess, to be admired from a distance, not to be defiled. How could such a method be used to harm her?

This was a scene that would never be forgotten.

The white-robed woman's eyes were slightly blurred, but she could still see the young man going crazy for her.

The young man's long hair flowed as he wielded his sword, and the images of his actions were etched in her mind.

After a while, the sword light faded, and the forest was almost dyed red. The adventurers all met their end here.

Xiao Yun's soul power was now strong enough to intimidate late-stage Innate Realm cultivators.

Sigh!

Looking at the fallen bodies, Xiao Yun took a deep breath, his anger finally subsiding.

"How are you?" Xiao Yun turned to the white-robed woman, seeing her rapid breathing and hazy eyes, his brows furrowed, and he felt a pain in his heart, asking with concern.

"I've been poisoned," the white-robed woman's eyelashes trembled, and she struggled to open her eyes, looking at the young man in front of her, her voice weak. Unfortunately, her consciousness was becoming hazy, and the poison was taking over her mind, as if a flame was burning inside her.

"Poisoned?" Xiao Yun frowned and said, "Don't worry, I can help you detoxify."

Without hesitation, he picked up the woman and ran towards the cave.

"Why is your body so hot? Your breathing is also becoming labored. What kind of poison is this, acting so quickly?" After reaching the cave, Xiao Yun placed the woman down, his brows furrowing tightly. Her condition seemed to be worsening.

The white-robed woman's consciousness was becoming hazy, and she couldn't answer Xiao Yun.

"It seems I need to help you detoxify." Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, and he activated his martial soul.

A green light flashed, and a green branch appeared in his palm.

Holding the woman's hand, Xiao Yun began to help her detoxify.

As the green light of his martial soul shone, some essence energy entered the woman's palm and then her body.

After a while, her eyelids twitched, and her eyes began to clear slightly as the poison was extracted.

"Did you save me?" The white-robed woman struggled to maintain her consciousness, looking at the young man in front of her.

"Yes," Xiao Yun nodded, "Try to force the poison into your palm, and I'll extract it."

"Extract it?" The white-robed woman frowned, quickly realizing that the young man was helping her detoxify.

She was deeply moved. They were strangers, yet this young man was willing to risk his life to help her. Such kindness was a world apart from those who had harmed her. "Will you be poisoned?"

The white-robed woman was worried.

"Don't worry, I can handle it," Xiao Yun said.

The white-robed woman nodded and tried to steady her mind, forcing some of the poison into her palm.

Xiao Yun's martial soul glowed, continuously drawing out the poison.

However, even with this, the white-robed woman's condition didn't improve much, as the poison was spreading rapidly.

She had inhaled too much of the evil poison, and it was now fully active, making Xiao Yun's martial soul struggle.

"I need to use all my strength," Xiao Yun focused on drawing out the poison.

After a moment, Xiao Yun felt his mind becoming hazy, indicating that his martial soul was also struggling.

While his martial soul could neutralize the poison, it needed time. His current frantic efforts to detoxify the woman were beyond its capacity. If he didn't act decisively, the woman would be beyond saving, as her consciousness was becoming hazy again.

She also let out a strange moan, looking very uncomfortable.

Using all his strength!

Xiao Yun didn't hesitate, focusing on saving the woman.

However, after a while, his mind also became hazy, and his martial soul buzzed, its light flashing as it retreated into his mind.

"Damn, why are you giving up?" Xiao Yun roared, surprised that his martial soul was so afraid of death.

The martial soul buzzed, as if saying that even its efforts would be futile.

"Hey, Xiao Yun, what are you shouting about?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow suddenly spoke.

"It's none of your business," Xiao Yun said coldly.

"I think you're in trouble!" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow said lazily.

It had been in the Swallowing Heaven Tower, refining the spiritual medicines Xiao Yun had given it to restore its soul essence.

"Hey, isn't that the woman who ambushed me?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's eyes lit up, smiling. "Xiao Yun, you're really loyal. You knew I wanted to settle the score with her, so you brought her back. Good, very loyal."

"Save it," Xiao Yun said irritably, trying to steady his mind to control his martial soul and continue detoxifying.

"Why does she seem poisoned?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow released its spiritual sense, sensing something wrong with the white-robed woman. "Did you poison her? No, you seem poisoned too. What's going on?"

"Stop talking, I'm saving her," Xiao Yun said urgently. "I'm detoxifying her."

"You're saving her?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow looked displeased.

Xiao Yun ignored it.

At this moment, Xiao Yun felt a flame rising in his body, an evil fire rushing to his head, making his consciousness hazy. If not for his powerful soul power, he would already be in a daze.
